I have owned 4 Subaru's, 2 were tows with 5 speed manuals. Occassionally I would get a whif of burning oil after starting tow up following a long pull. Could be something wasn't getting lubricated. Hate to see them pull the towing endorsment because they are great cars.
Hello Boxer,
The smell that we get from our '13 Honda is more of a 'minor' burnt rubber odor. We had the same experience from our previous '07 Honda.
Many people have reported a burnt rubber smell after towing. 'They' say it's the rubber particles that are thrown up from the street surface by the coach and land in the engine compartment of the toad.
